Acharya Prashant explains that a relationship built on falseness will continue to sustain itself on that basis unless it is challenged. He suggests that if one cannot have a truthful discussion, it is better to remain silent rather than participate in false or frivolous conversations. This silence serves as a form of empathy, signaling that something more important than gossip or surface-level talk is at stake. He emphasizes that bringing truth to a relationship often requires putting the relationship itself at risk, which demands a high intensity of love and the willingness to suffer retaliation from those who are not yet ready to listen.
